Event Coverage Royboy goes to the 2012 KKOA Hotrodding Hullabaloo & Atlas Speed & Custom

Despite cold weather and reports that the show has become a bit small I headed south Thursday night headed for Denison, TX for the 2012 KKOA Hotrodding Hullabaloo, Denison is also home to Atlas Speed & Custom so what better excuse to go to TX for the weekend?

Friday started with a shop visit to my buddies Atlas Speed & Custom in downtown Denison for a looksee around the shop and to check in on the Revolution 32 build.




Mike's new toy, it's a vintage build right hand drive from England I believe. Super kool car, especially the front license plate...




Atlas' logo was done by Jeff Norwell, and it's cool factor is off the scale.


Lots of cool old Hot Rod mags and others for sale in the store area.


Vintage go fast goodies on display




Daddy-o was working hard but still took 30 minutes to show me around town and tell me some history.



Daddy-O's own Chevy waiting it's turn.


Modifying a $250 brake pedal to fit.




The Atlas boys are also the members of the band Pushrod who will be performing at the Hot Rod Revolution this weekend in Austin. Mike's dad was a member of the Leonard Stockers.


Punchlist above the workbench leading the way to the finish line.


I'm looking forward to seeing the truck progress throughout its build. The 51 passenger car dash is a nice touch.


Daddy-O's sedan waiting along side the others (still say you need to give me this because I'm a super duper nice guy)









I posted this on the 32 build thread but if you haven't seen it here ya go.

Don't post any more pictures until Mongo gets your wheels mounted on your Galaxy.
That is what I wanna see....

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Great shop photos...ah, where's the show ones ??? Thanks in advance.

 

Okay, part 2, on to the show coverage. There are plenty more shots of Atlas if you click any of the photos in the first post.

Like the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular held in Salina, KS the Hotrodding Hullabaloo features Friday Run What Ya Brung Drags. Being that the show has a smaller attendance the drags were a bit let crowded.







They do wear some weird head gear in Texas racing...






Now on to the show Saturday held at a downtown area park.












Stray Kat Kustoms in the line o Mercs
















That's the 20 photo limit we are allowed in this post, now I'm off to buy some groceries and write some magazine articles. I will take a break to come back and post some more after some of the To Do List is knocked out.

See you at a show,
Travis

 

As always great photos...tell Paul hi for me!

 

what is this 20 pic per post rule...?...something new?

 

Will do next time I see him.

I've only ever been able to post 20 images including smilies per post. It makes a nice digestible sized post I guess.

 

Nope been like that a long while. Good pix man looking forward to seeing the rest as you get time..

 

Thanks for feeding us, love the video!

 

Thanks!

Part 3















Buck's bad bad Chev






I love The Whale




















That's it for this post, back to writing again! I think that this show could grow back to a really great celebration of Kustoms in the years to come. I really like the town, the people, the venue, I think we should all strive to get to this one next year and just over run the park with kool kustoms.

See you at a show,

Travis
